Deposit Boot Camp

Learning Objectives

A critical issue for financial institutions of all sizes continues to be funding growth in the balance sheet. This issue is brought on by a combination of ageing of the existing CD base and aggressive competition for deposit funds by brokerage firms and companies like ING, HSBC, eLoan, and eTrade. As a result, financial institutions are relying more on wholesale funds to fund growth in the balance sheet through FHLB and Corporate Credit Union borrowings, brokered and rate board CDs, and networks like CDARs.
At the same time, institutions are attempting to grow their own deposits with aggressively priced accounts and innovative products provided through third party providers like BancVue Rewards Checking and uSweep. Often times, however, these retail deposits are raised at marginal costs considerably above wholesale funding alternatives because institutions:

Lack an effective deposit pricing process
Fail to evaluate the marginal cost of new money raised
Lack systems to track pricing decisions and their effect on demand
Fail to understand how to design effective segmentation strategies that allow them to go after rate sensitive funds without paying up for non-rate sensitive funds

Program Content:

A Best Practices Deposit Pricing Process - The first session lays out a conceptual strategic and tactical framework in which effective pricing decisions are implemented.

Effective pricing and management of CD's - This session begins by examining the options in designing CDs. A variety of CD segmentation strategies will be introduced and discussed including offensive and defensive CD specials, and approaches to reducing cannibalization of existing low cost balances including minimum balance requirements, tiering, geographic segmentation, new money specials, and relationship pricing.

Effective pricing and management of non-maturity deposits - In this session, issues relating to non-maturity deposits will be discussed including servicing cost, duration, and pricing.

Implementing an Effective Strategic Review Process - This session closes the quarterly strategic review loop introduced in the first session. The session focuses on how to conduct an effective quarterly strategic review including reviewing the price/demand effect of strategies executed in the previous quarter and back testing the marginal cost of funds raised.
